一所全客語沉浸式教學幼兒園的探究

Abstract

本研究主要是探討幼兒園實施全客語沉浸式教學的狀況，以及幼教師在客語沉浸式教學上所面臨的困境，並且探究家長對於客語沉浸式教學的態度。研究對象為屏東縣內埔鄉一所實施全客語沉浸式教學幼兒園，研究方法為問卷調查及深度訪談，針對現場實施客語沉浸式教師採用訪談，探討客語沉浸式教師的教學現況，及其所面臨到的教學困境，並對園所內家長實施問卷調查，以瞭解家長對客語沉浸式教學的態度。研究發現幼兒園能利用主題課程融入客語教學，並採取遊戲課程方式進行，教師與幼兒皆以客語溝通應答，藉此提高幼兒使用客語的頻率，促進幼兒對客家文化的理解。其次，幼兒沒有使用客語的生活習慣是幼教師所面臨到的問題，幼教師必須適時提醒幼兒說客語，幼兒才會將國語轉換成客語；家庭說客語環境是決定客語沉浸式教學成敗的重要因素。至於，家長對客語沉浸式教學態度，幼兒客語說得很流利的家長其對客語沉浸式教學態度顯著高於幼兒完全不會說客語的家長，顯示家長自身客語程度越佳則其對園所客語沉浸式態度越積極且正面。
